The FIA has moved forward the start times of several races as a direct result of the investigation into Jules Bianchi’s crash at Suzuka last year.

One of the key recommendations of the investigating panel was to create a bigger window of daylight in which to get races completed should there be a delay for bad weather or any other reason. In the past several events did not allow for enough daylight to allow for the official four-hour time limit in which a race had to finish.
